What Are The Symptoms Of Ear Cancer In An Infant?

My 2 (3 in Sept) year old has dried blood in his ear and down into the canal as far as I can see with a flashlight. I've searched for possible answers online and come up with everything from a simple scratch to cancer. He has ear tubes and the tube from his other ear fell out about a year ago. As far as we know this tube is still in place. What can this be from? No other symptoms. He says his ear doesn't hurt but I am concerned that it could be something serious. Any advice would be appreciated!

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
Bleeding from ear may be due any causes. Trauma, otitis media or cancer or brain pathology all can leads to bleeding. However chances of cancer are very low. Most common cause is otitis media or externa. You should go to ENT specialist for examination. Then you should take treatment accordingly.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
